I think how you start the day many times determines what kind of day you're going to have.

Sometimes, God uses difficult people, like sandpaper, to rub the rough edges off us.

Life's a fight. It's a good fight of faith.

I have always believed. I grew up, you know, my parents were a good Christian people. They showed us love in the home.

Shake off the self-pity, shake off the defeat and get ready for God to do something new. He is going to pay you back for every injustice.

Some people keep God in a Sunday morning box and say, 'Hey, I did my religious duty.' That's fine, but the scripture says to pray without ceasing. And I think that means all through the day you're talking to God. Even if it's in your thoughts.

I do think that religion has turned a lot of people off. Part of it is because it was all about the rules and was political. I think now people have a hunger for God, they want to have a relationship, but they don't want to be called religious. I'm not trying to get them to join my religion, I'm just trying to plant a seed of hope in their heart.
